Malama - Gestational Diabetes

ftm mom here dealing with GD and this app has been so very helpful with reminders, logging my sugars and giving suggestions on what to eat + what I shouldn’t necessarily eat !!

Once I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes, I was having a challenging time with the upkeep of controlling and restricting carbs, being on time with reading my glucose monitor, and all the things you have to think about GD. This app truly helped me with all the resources you can find in it. Tracking all my food and my blood sugar levels have been less of a burden with this app. Highly recommended to anyone diagnosed with GDM.

I’m loving this app so far. It’s making it really to keep track of everything and find patterns.

Honestly, I never write AppStore reviews but Malama deserves a shoutout. The fact this app is still in beta and yet is so useful speaks volumes about the team that manages it, and I can’t wait to see what they have planned for the future of the app. It’s very easy to use, as it fits with where you are in your day—whether you’ve just woken up, are about to eat, or have already eaten, it meets you where you are and guides you (with helpful push notifications) to log your meals and glucose—and medication, if you use insulin…which I don’t, but felt I should me then that feature, too—along the way. It’s perfect!

I have to believe this app uses AI learning or something else that 21st century tech brings us and I’m so thankful for it. My OB had me tracking on paper - this eliminates so much of that stress and tells me everything I’m doing right (and wrong) and how to improve it. 100 stars!!!

My diagnosis seemed totally overwhelming at first, but this app makes dealing with all the tracking much more manageable. I like the friendly advice it gives you after you log a meal, and that it can send reminder texts when it’s time to eat a snack or check your glucose levels after a meal.

I love this app! It’s a great way to self-manage your blood sugar and hold yourself accountable. I would highly recommend for those who are familiar with how to manage their gestational diabetes.

This app is soooo helpful and amazing! Love that I can log my foods and my sugar levels in one place and generate a report for my providers. I also love the text reminders to check your glucose level. And the tips about your meals, what an amazing resource! I can’t say enough good things about it!

I honestly just with my doctors would utilize the app. It’s very continent and provides lots of good information.

I’ve been using this app since I was diagnosed and it is so helpful to look back at a photo to see about what portion I had on good days. It’s very easy to use and the reminders I could not live without.
